Feature Expedition

Bakara CP_0324 - MRLB Malleefowl Monitoring

Camera TrapsSouth Australia Department for Environment and Water - Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Projects

The Malleefowl Adaptive Management Predator Experiment is a nation-wide (NSW, Vic, SA, WA) initiative of the National Malleefowl Recovery Team and the National Environmental Science Programme’s Threatened Species Recovery Hub. This citizen science project is aimed at conservation of nationally vulnerable malleefowl and addresses a deceptively simple question: Does malleefowl breeding effort increase when predators are suppressed?

Malleefowl breeding effort has been monitored by volunteers across Australia for about 30 years. This new experiment incorporates predator activity data captured by camera traps deployed at some of the mound monitoring sites and information about predator control provided by land managers around the monitoring sites.

The Murraylands and Riverland region of South Australia has many malleefowl monitoring sites and six of these have been set up with surveillance cameras to participate in the experiment (48 cameras in total). The cameras are useful for monitoring other environmental issues as well, particularly pest and over-abundant herbivores.

Thank you for participating in this project.  You are making a real difference.
